I am in the minority but I don't want Jeopardy since he always does that when he hosts.

I want to see the two gross lovers with Rachel Dratch or whatever you call it, James Lipton, and Robert Goulet.

How about a revisit of that sketch where Ferrell is a mild-mannered Dad grilling outside expect he periodically start screaming at his kids.

Is that the character that randomly screams, "I drive a Dodge Stratus!"? Love that guy.

Will Farrell sounds like he's fighting something - his voice sounds a little thin.

Regardless of everything else, the Digital Short thing was fucking amazing.

They sure like to sing a lot in skits. Felt like a waste of Ferrell as host especially padding it out with other guests.

That new girl has some scary crazy eyes. Kept distracting me during Funkytown.

I guess the rule is to turn it off after Weekend Update... The first half of the show was funny. Then, not so much. Been like that for a while now.

It seems like whenever Ferrell hosts they only do one or two sketches with a character he did when he was a cast member and the rest just the usual crap.

The digital short and Cage and Neeson during Weekend Update were the highlights.

I would of liked to see Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan to do a skit of this again. But it didn't happen.

Some really random and unfunny sketches this week. Funkytown should have been funny but the crazy eyes and shit material really made it tough to get through. All in all this was a compete failure.


Weekend update with Seth which I used to hate has really been funny lately.

That Digital Short was epic but I'm guessing that's it unless they hand the keys off to someone else. Sucks Samberg is leaving.

Who were the two dancing girls behind the game host in the funky town sketch? Yeah, the digital short was the best part.

I have to agree that the best thing about the episode was the Digital Short but I love the Cage segment on Weekend Update and sad that it will be over once Samberg leaves...

The two girls were Abby Elliot and Kate McKinnon.

s that the character that randomly screams, "I drive a Dodge Stratus!"? Love that guy.
Didn't they do this with a thanksgiving dinner and Gwnyeth Paltrow was involved?

Get in the Cage is pure awesome sauce.

Hamilton that Will Forte character with the blonde wig and sunglasses always cracks me up.

"A silver bullet into the heart of the socialist wolf that rules this land.”







Any screenshots of Abby Elliot in Funkytown?

So yummy.

Yeah she was. Too bad any screenshot would be ruined by the other one that was back there with her.
